What is your favorite memory from FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

I went to the Yeshiva for 6 years (4 years of high school and 2 years in Beis Midrash). The best memories were being in the Yeshiva and bonding with the guys.

I found this particularly true spending time with them over the Yamim Noraim while also experiencing the powerful davening.
